MOSA Virtual Summit 2025

When: February 19, 2025

Time: 2:15pm ET

Hosted By: Military Embedded Systems

Key Army aviation and ground systems such as flight avionics, navigation technology, vetronics, PNT, security, weapons systems, sensor payloads, and the like are all enabled by MOSA (modular open systems approach) techniques. MOSA enables interoperability not just across platforms but also between systems, as hardware and software components can be reused from one helicopter avionics system to another, for example.

The Future Airborne Capability Environment, or FACE, Technical Standard is an example of MOSA as it enables the reuse of software elements across multiple avionics platforms. The Army has also embraced the Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR)/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards [CMOSS] initiative and the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard for ground platforms.

Bill Pilaud from LCR will explore how SOSA, using these MOSA strategies, may be applicable to ATR, SAVE and rackmount system enclosures in support of US warfighters across a range of platforms.
